Rangiwahia tops mission

I'd have to say my Mystery Ranch pack is a game changer for carrying weight, streets ahead of the "tramping packs" i used for hunting.

Hey @199p what do you mean by pay in USD? The website seems to convert to NZD automatically.

I’m probably a month or 2 from pulling the trigger on a K4 but I’m looking at about $250 for shipping and then potentially the same for GST. Gotta try and get a mate to fwd it over for me but I hate making people go out of their way.

Bottom Right hand side you can change it back to usd, if you can get a mate too would be great to avoid the extra costs

Bit of an update,

Had this out on a bunch of trips, overnighters and day trips and wont go back, sold a couple of old packs off i just cant fault it apart from the price.
The side pockets are a little annoying and push into the centre but i have found as long as i fill the centre main pocket 1st its less of an issue.
Can fit my tent in the side pocket bloody handy when your setting up in the rain and dont have to open the pack to get it out.

One thing i miss from my old Ospray is a large mesh pocket to chuck your rain jacket into when its all wet.

I ended up with an Initial Accent. Stung by GST on the way in which was an ouch on top of the ouch price wise. Havent given it a big enough wring out yet to comment too much but it seems like a step up from anything else I have had.

I got hit with gst on my k4 also, much of a muchness comfort wise between the k3/k4, I rekon the side pockets are better on the k3 as they don’t intrude on the main compartment when full and you can fit more stuff in the back strechy pocket

Spearonz,
There a distributor / retailer of Exo packs in NSW. Not as cheap as USA but worth looking at given the high freight costs.
